What does resistant (passive) mean in perceived subject actions?

• A. The suspect is uncooperative but does not make any overt physical action or body movement while resisting.
• B. The suspect actively attacks with fists.
• C. The suspect fully cooperates.
• D. The suspect suddenly flees.

Answer: (A)

Passive resistance means the subject is not complying but isn’t using force or making overt movements. In perceived subject actions, it describes someone who remains uncooperative yet does not perform deliberate physical actions. That matches the description: the suspect is uncooperative but does not make any overt physical action or body movement while resisting. This is different from actively attacking with fists (active resistance), fully cooperating (no resistance), or suddenly fleeing (escape).
